Hi, I have a few additional suggestions for the article. I also noticed that the breakdown and format have gotten a bit confusing- can we remove the extra spaces and restore the original sections (Early life and education, Career, and Personal life) as generally seen in biographies of living persons? In addition, below are two new sections that reorganize/expand on the existing content.

Daniel Lubetzky established Equilibra Partners Management Inc in 2018. The firm backs entrepreneur-run businesses that offer packaged goods to consumers.
 * The first is "Investments":

In May 2020, Equilibra purchased a 25% stake in Yellow Leaf Hammocks for $1m when Lubetzky sat as a guest Shark on Shark Tank.

In 2020, Equilibra invested $18m in Greek yogurt company Ellenos. Towards the end of the year, it made a $250,000 investment in FitFighter, a fitness brand which began with equipment for firefighter training programs and expanded to full-body fitness tools and workouts.

In 2021, Equilibra purchased a 10% stake in Quevos, an egg white protein snacks company, also on Shark Tank. That same year, they invested in Tandm Inc., a family-owned business that created a tandem boogie board.

Other investments include: CAVA Group, Justin’s, Krave jerky, gimMe snacks and Chapul.

Lubetzky is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Do the Kind Thing, Think Boundlessly, Work Purposefully, Live Passionately. The book is based on Lubetzky’s entrepreneurial experience, and was inspired by his father’s stories from the holocaust.
 * The second is "Media":

Lubetzky appeared as a guest Shark in episodes of Shark Tank in seasons 11, 12 and 13, and on To Dine For with Kate Sullivan in January, 2021.

In September 2021, Lubetzky teamed up with two of KIND’s former executives to create “SOMOS” (meaning “we are” in Spanish), an authentic Mexican food company.
 * I'd also like to suggest adding the following to the end of the "Career" section:


 * And updating Lubetzky's net worth as follows:

As of June 2020 Lubetzky had a net worth of $1.2 billion. As of November 2021, Lubetzky had a net worth of $2.2 billion.

Thanks for your help, SarahB2245dl (talk) 15:35, 4 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I added most of the above with a bit of copy editing. I hope someone else will take a look at it and make sure it's neutral. I'm open to any other feedback. Thank you, SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨ 23:09, 22 November 2021 (UTC)


 * thanks so much for your help with this! SarahB2245dl (talk) 14:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I work for Daniel Lubetzky and therefore have a conflict of interest. Please see my suggestions below and implement them in the article if they are ready. Thanks in advance for your help!

In the “Philanthropy” section:

- In the paragraph beginning with “In 2021, Lubetzky launched Starts With Us,” please add a sentence that shares the following: “Its flagship program, Citizen Solutions, brings together US citizens from across the aisle to collaborate on commonplace policy proposals to wedge issues like abortion and gun safety.” Source: https://www.utdailybeacon.com/city_news/politics/citizen-solutions-opens-public-feedback-period-for-tennesseans-to-weigh-in-on-gun-rights-safety/article_748949dc-8d9f-11ee-9cf4-37d26055f550.html

-In the final paragraph of this section, please add “and Liev Schreiber” as one of the leaders who launched the Ukraine program. Source: https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/gma3/video/liev-schreiber-discusses-organization-abducted-ukrainian-children-105782389.

In the "Media" section:

- In addition to mentioning that “Lubetzky has published multiple opinion posts to CNN,” please add “and Newsweek.” Sources: https://www.newsweek.com/media-over-covering-divisiveness-its-going-destroy-us-opinion-1788030; https://www.newsweek.com/both-sides-are-minimizing-violence-americans-must-fight-our-nation-opinion-1660132

Updates to the article
Hi all, I'd like to recommend some updates to this article.

First, please add that, in a recent TED Talk, Lubetzky announced the Builders Movement, an initiative with Liev Schreiber, Katie Couric, and Lonnie Ali to encourage people to work together and reduce polarization.

Next, I noticed that an anonymous IP recently added content to this page based on a Washington Post article. I want to point out that, as this is only based on one source, the detail in this article is an example of WP:Undue Weight and WP:Coatrack. I offer the following summarized version of the article below, to replace the existing mention on the page. Additionally, this was added to the article in two sections. I do not believe that it belongs in the Philanthropy section, and request that it be removed from there entirely:

In May 2024, the Washington Post reported that Lubetzky was a member of a WhatsApp group of business leaders working to shape US public opinion about the Israel-Hamas war following the 7 October attacks. According to that report, he joined a Zoom meeting, during which there were discussions to make political donations to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Adam's campaign lawyer said the campaign had not received donations from Lubetzky, Loeb, Sitt or Gabay.

Thank you very much. Birdhouse123 (talk) 13:34, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
